Biography

Two American Latina lesbian comics walk into a gay bar and turn it into a comedy club. Seasoned comics Mimi Gonzalez and Sandra Valls joined forces in 2011 to create a nationally touring show called "Lezberados." Valls' Mexican pride and Gonzalez's Cuban heritage bridge the gap between two of the many Latino cultures and forge a peace full of laughter keeping audiences asking for more.

Both comics are seasoned solo stand-ups with over twenty combined years of appearances and shows. Lezberados is a multiplying multicultural expansion of their talents in a show full of stand-up, improv, music and celebrating one local up and coming LGBT comic. Recognizing how important it is to embrace new talent and how difficult it is to find stage time, the Lezberados show consistently features a local novice comic as emcee.

A Lezberados show starts with both Gonzalez and Valls welcoming the audience and warming them up with playful improv and banter, including and involving them in the experience. Sketch-inspired bits then turn the evening into the comedy show the audience came for. They wrap this opening third with the Lezberados theme song, a parody to the tune of "Desperado."

Whomever is their featured honorary Lezberado for the evening is then introduced and performs a showcase set of their best five to seven minutes of stand-up. This performer becomes the show's host and introduces first Gonzalez, then Valls who both do individual stand-up sets of :30 minutes each. Valls always closes the show with an R&B number she belts from deep with her rhythmic soul.
